Siheyuan: Struggle in the Red Era

Lin Baoyan went home and fried some cauliflower, then locked the door and entered the space. She heated up the leftover chicken soup buns and ate them with the cauliflower and enjoyed a delicious meal alone.

After eating, she stood at the door of the room, looking at the chickens pecking at vegetables everywhere in the room, feeling worried.

There are already a lot of chickens and ducks here. Even if she kills one every two or three days to eat, the number of chickens and ducks, under her strict control, exceeds one hundred each. More than 70% of them are female. Hundreds of chicken and duck eggs can be picked up every day, and the house can hardly hold the salted duck eggs and chicken eggs made from them.

But she didn’t dare to sell it outside…

Just looking at the two empty rooms in the Intermediate Courtyard, it can be seen that the relevant departments are still planning and waiting. In addition, places like the pigeon market and the black market are definitely also under surveillance.

After all, they are all time travelers, those who have space and supplies, all have such a habit, going to the Pigeon City black market to sell supplies in exchange for money...

As for herself, after such a long time, she no longer feels anything abnormal, and it seems unlikely that the country would waste manpower on someone like her who behaves normally.

After thinking about it carefully, she felt that instead of leaving the things in there and letting them go bad, she should think about whether she could secretly send them to an orphanage.

If possible, she would clear out most of the chickens, ducks and eggs, and give away some of the wheat and rice. This way, she could make room in the space and make a contribution to the country.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so it would be nice to give the country a small gift before the New Year.

Thinking of this, she left the space, searched around the house, took some receipts, prepared to go to the store to buy some things, and then go to the orphanage to observe how to deliver the things without arousing suspicion.

It just so happened that Chen Guangzong had been sent to the orphanage for more than half a year, so she used the excuse of visiting Chen Guangzong to check on him openly. Even if she was discovered, she would have a reason.

Just do it when you think of it. You will have enough time in an afternoon.

After taking the money and the net bag and locking the door, I said hello to Second Auntie: "Second Auntie, the New Year is coming soon. I'm going to the orphanage to check it out and will be back in time for dinner."

"Well, okay, go ahead. It's cold, come back early."

Liu Guangqi said: "Why did Lin Baoyan go to the orphanage?"

The second aunt was also puzzled: "Could he have gone to see Chen Guangzong? Speaking of which, Chen Guangzong has been gone for more than half a year."

Liu Guangfu ran over with snot hanging from his nose and hugged Second Aunt's legs, rubbing his snot all over her legs. Second Aunt scolded him in disgust: "Guangtian, watch your brother, look at this dirty guy."

Having said that, he changed the subject.

Lin Baoyan went to the store as soon as she got out of the door. Even if she planned to use Chen Guangzong as an excuse, she still had to do what she should do to save face.

When Chen Guangzong was sent to the orphanage, she took away all the thick and thin clothes of Chen Datou at home and gave them to Chen Guangzong. She thought that he didn't need these now, so she bought some fruit candies and cheap cakes that didn't require tickets, and went to the orphanage with them.

After leaving the orphanage, she walked to the guard room and knocked on the door: "Is anyone inside?"

A head popped out of the guard room window and saw Lin Baoyan: "Little comrade, what can I do for you?"

Lin Baoyan said politely: "My name is Lin Baoyan. A neighbor of mine came here last year and I came to see him. His name is Chen Guangzong."

The man muttered something, opened the door, invited her in, and said, "It's cold outside, come in and warm up first, I'll go call someone over." Then he limped in to call someone.

Lin Baoyan wanted to follow in, but was not allowed in. There was nothing she could do, so she had to wait in the guard room.

Soon, a boy ran in quickly, panting, staring at Lin Baoyan, and didn't speak for a long time.

Lin Baoyan knew that the boy in front of her was Chen Guangzong, but after only half a year, she was a little hesitant to recognize him.

In her impression, Chen Guangzong was a fat and strong boy, but the one in front of her was dark and thin, with bruises all over his face and fierce eyes, like a vicious dog, and particularly unfamiliar.

She thought that Chen Guangzong would not have an easy life in the orphanage. After all, he was the child of an enemy spy. Who would not spit at him when seeing him? Being isolated and beaten should be a daily routine. Otherwise, she would not have tried every means to leave the Chen family. She had also read the news about school bullying in modern society. If she came, she had a general idea of ​​what she would encounter.

She asked tentatively: "Guangzong?"

Chen Guangzong glared at Lin Baoyan fiercely without saying a word.

The two men were relatively speechless.

The door opened again and the guard came in.

"Chen Guangzong, why are you running? This young comrade is your neighbor, right?"

Chen Guangzong's eyes became even more ferocious.

Lin Baoyan was a little embarrassed. She raised the net bag in her hand and said, "It's almost the New Year. I bought some things and came to see you."

Chen Guangzong was still staring at her.

She was a little unable to continue.

The guard saw something and said to Chen Guangzong, "Okay, your neighbor is kind enough to come and see you, take her in and have a look around."

Many people are worried about the orphanage and come to check it out, but usually it's adults who come. Today is the first time that a child has come here. It's even rarer that the visitor is an enemy spy.

Chen Guangzong walked into the yard silently, and Lin Baoyan followed slowly behind him.

She looked around the yard carefully, wondering how she could get the supplies in quietly.

I wasn't paying attention for a moment and bumped into something.

She looked up and saw Chen Guangzong's dark and thin face full of anger: "What on earth are you doing here?"

Lin Baoyan murmured twice, stuffed the net bag into his hand and said, "I just thought, it's New Year's Day, come and take a look."

Chen Guangzong held the net bag tightly, and the hatred in his eyes faded slightly.

The two people stood there, again speechless.

After a long while, Chen Guangzong asked in a low voice: "You, you, do you know any news about them?"

Lin Baoyan shook her head: "The street office didn't tell me this. I thought, no news, it should be good news."

Chen Guangzong lowered his head and rubbed his feet on the ground: "Can you take me away?"

Lin Baoyan sighed, what you fear will come true.

"I can't take you away, and I won't take you away. I know you're having a hard time, but it's not my fault. If you want to blame someone, blame your parents for being unkind."

"If you hadn't reported it, would we be like this?" Chen Guangzong growled angrily: "We wouldn't be like this at all!"

"You forgot that I didn't bring the police here. The result would be the same with or without me."

"But you are living such a good life now!" Chen Guangzong looked at Lin Baoyan, who was much taller than him, with jealousy, even though she was obviously shorter than him.

"Because my parents are not enemy spies." Lin Baoyan said firmly: "Your parents are enemy spies. They have harmed the interests of the country. Therefore, they, including you, have ended up like this now. You can't blame anyone else."

Chen Guangzong squatted down, holding his head and crying softly. Lin Baoyan felt a little sorry, but not much. This is the treatment of the children of enemy agents, and no one can change it.

She looked around carefully, wondering from which direction it would be most convenient and least likely to be noticed to put the supplies in.

After the observation, seeing that Chen Guangzong was still crying, he advised: "Okay, stop crying, hide the things first, I'm leaving, I'll come to see you when I'm free. Take care of yourself."
